August 22, 2008 - For a few years now, the wrestling game business has been a one company show, but Midway will change all of that this September when the men and women from TNA elbow drop their way onto your favorite console. However, it's been hard to get a good look at TNA iMPACT!. IGNers have played the game at events, but we've never had the chance to just sit down and tear this game apart.
Thankfully, TNA-Listers is going to fix that and bring you along for the ride. iMPACT! is now in the office, and we're going to show you every wrestler and every finisher while giving you a little tidbit of how the day's brawler played. Look for updates Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week as the TNA-Lister battle it out in the game's armory venue and across the pond in England.
Ring the damn bell.

Big Daddy Cool is back.
Over the years, Kevin Nash has been in plenty of videogames, but it's been a while now since we saw him running around a virtual ring. The star is returning to TV screens across the globe this September in TNA iMPACT! -- but this probably won't be the first time most have seen this storied showman. In a career spanning nearly 20 years, Nash has worn championship gold in numerous federations, bounced back from career-threatening injuries, and put on some of the most memorable matches and feuds fans have ever seen.
Make no mistake about it, though; the Nash in iMPACT is the Nash you see on Spike TV and not a younger version of the man. He's clad in jeans and a polo, his moves are the standard selection of a suplex, body slam, and backbreaker, but there is some color tossed in. To begin with, Nash has a gorilla-press toss that accentuates his height, a powerbowb from the grapple to set up his finisher, and a big boot that looks devastating -- especially when the opponent is resting helpless in the corner. In the end, there's the jackknife powerbomb we all know and love.
